Hundreds of students walk out in mass protest, march to Parkland high school

Hundreds of Florida students at West Boca High School walked off campus Tuesday morning and thousands more at other high school campuses held rallies or remembrances in honor of the 17 students and teachers killed in a shooting rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., last week.

Later, the students began streaming down the street toward Parkland, where Douglas High is located. Live footage from television news choppers showed dozens of students walking peacefully along major roads.
